COURT NOTEs.-A considerable amount
of business has been disposed of at this
term Of our court. Judge MOrrimon has
won golden opinions on all sides. While
perhaps he is not altogether as strict dis
ciplinarian as some others, no finer judge
of law has yet sat upon the Bench in Vance
county. He seems always to have law at
his fingers ends and in his citations he is
apt and ready. 1t is no praise to say that
in his rulings Judge Merrimon is fair and
impartial, just and reasonable, while yet
following the course of the law. His abil-
ity and high character, his plain and unas-
Stunning manner, and his uniform courtesy
and kindly consideration have won for him
the highest regard and profoundest admit
ration of our people, without regard to
race or distinction.
Some good speeches have been made in
various cases by several members of the
Bar, but perhaps no ADLER effort was ever
made in our court house than that of Col.
| Edwards Thursday evening Of last week
! in the case of the State against W. H.
| Smith. This was case in which the sher-
| if, armed with official papers to proceed
| to secure and collect certain debt, had
accepted a sum of money from the party
upon whose lands he had gone to make ex-
ecution, with which he effected comprO-
mise of the matter. The sheriff claimed
that he could find no excess, that the debt
could not be made, and the claim was sat
isfed, in sum less than the amount Of
money the sheriff had in his possession
with which to effect the compromise. In
this transaction Smith claimed that he was
acting not in his official capacity, but as a
private citizen, in the interest of both par
ties. This occurred some time ago, since
which time developments were made
wherein fraud was alleged and sui
brought against the sheriff. The ease wa:
one Of absorbing interest and was strenu
J ously fought on both sides. Messrs. Ed
wards & Workman and Solicitor Worthing

.HlGH WATER MARK" PASSED.
Burweli, Kelly & Co., the Champions Of
the State for High Prices.

1t is very much the habit of tobacco
markets and the warehouses to get out
big blow when prices way above the
general average have been reached. 1t
has been the custom of Durham, Ok
ford, Raleigh, Warrenton and Hender-
son, to scatter broadcast flaming hand
bills proclaiming the "biggest sale of
the season." but to be followed by a
circular the next week from some other
house protesting to have beat them all.
Farmers have seen so many of these
big prices in print, and have them
selves fallen so far short of them for
their tobacco, many of them have be-
come sceptical, and have very little
confidence in hand bills, no matter
how correct they are.
Even if our competing markets were
blowing less, We should feel it duty
and pleasure to state that Messrs.
Burwell, Kelly & Co., sold on Friday
last barn of tobacco for Jno. A. Har-
ris, Esq, at an Average Of sirJ. F0e
dollars, all grades tafInaed; and
make the bold announcement that
this sale has never in our knowledge,
been beaten in the State of North Car
DINA. We have several times seen
loads average higher, but they did no,
include all grades, the sand Tugs, tips
or other low grades was left out in av-
erages above this. The market and
the house that make such sales as this,
deserves, and we doubt not will re-
ceive, the patronage due to the clam
hiars of ths STATE fer hich 6ticcs

A BARREL MYSTERY.


Shipped from New York for New Bruns-
wick, and When Opened DisclOses We
mans Rcmains.
BosroN, March 10.-A barrel upon which
there we're heavy charges was received BY
the Adams Express Company to-day from
New York via tho New York and New
England railroad, for delivery to the Amer
ican Express Company, to be forwarded to
parties in New Brunswick. The American
Express Company refused to receive the
barrel, on account Of certain suspicious
marks resembling blood stains upon its
side, whereupon the Adams Express Com
pany took it back to their main ONCE. Here
the barrel was opened, when the head Of
woman was discovered packed in straw.
Enough was seen to convince the offlcials
that the barrel contained other portions Of
human body. The head was replaced
and the barrel with its contents removed
to an undertaker's, where an examination
will probably be made in the morning.
Those who are cognizant Of the facts be-
lieve that the body was intended for some
medical college.

Besides Throwing Four thousand Other
Men Out Of Employment.

CLEVELAND, o., March i1.-The strike Of
the New York, Pennsylvania and ohio
switchmen was emphasized to-day by six-
ty road brakemen who Joined therein.
This takes in only the Nahoning Di-
vision Of the line. One hundred and
Ave railroad men are now out, but
the stoppage of traflic has caused
. coal famine, and many mills and
factories along the route have been closed
in consequence. Fully four thousand men
are thrown out Of employment by the &C.
tion Of one hundred and Ave. No damage
to property has yet been done, and the idle
men are orderly and not disposed to do
anything rash. The strike was caused
by reduction from three to two
brakemen ON switching trains.
YOUNGSTOWN, O., March 1.-THE railroad
strike il spreading. Freight trains be-
tween here and Cleveland ON the Sha-
ron branch have been abandoned.
No efforts are being made to move
trains in either the n. Y, P. h o. or
Pennsylvania yards, the men on both lines
still standing firm. It is reported that
unless settlement is effected all the men
on the main line will be called out. Hotels
and boarding house keepers were to-day
waited on by q committee Of railroad strik-
ers and asked to neither board nor lodge
scabs nor new men who may be employed.

Boston Capitalists SwIndled by Slick Phil.
adelphian.
BosroN, March 9-William C. Hickman,
originally Of Philadelphia, but lately Of
Boston, has joined the American colony in
Canada, after having, it is alleged, swim
died q number Of Boston capitalists out Of
between $4,000 and $4,000. Hickman
claimed to have formula for manufacture
ing an article that he called "Sugarine"
out Of common starch. The sugarine was to
take the place Of ordinary sugar, to which
it was equal in all respects. According to
Hickman's story, the sugarine could be
made for one and one-hslf cents per pound,
and sold readily for five and one-half cents.
Several capitalists became interested, and
furnished considerable sums Of money
which, it is said, Hickman perverted to his
own use. When he could NO longer blind.
fold his dupes, he left the city for Mon
treal, where he now is. He makes no
secret Of his whereabouts. Hickman is
said to be very well connected in Philadel.

ST. LOUIS, March 1O.-The Globe Demo-
srat says editorially to-day: "Ifthe Signal
Service is actually crippled by the failure
Of Congress to pass the deficiency bill, the
newspapers Of the country, acting through
the Associated Press, or acting outside Of
that organization, should make up the
amount actually needed to carry on the
work until Congress meets. The year prom.
ises to be one Of extraordinary meteorolog-
ical events and changes, and the newspa-
pers should not let their readers suffer
because Congress failed to do its duty. The
chief Signal Service item in the neglected
bill is $4,000 for observations and reports
Of storms This is not q large sum for all
the newspapers in the country to pay for
information which is Of very great inter-
terest."

FAREWELL TO PLYMOUTH.
Final Service Over the Old Church's Be
loved Pastor.


BROOKLYN, March 11..-Plymouth Church
was crowded almost to suffocation to-day
by members of the dead Beecher's congre-
cation and others who could gain entrance.
The services began at 1880. DR.. Halls
funeral address was q most touching and
eloquent tribute to him he loved so we'll.
There seemed at times not to be
dry eye in the vast audience. All
afternoon yesterday the long line Of
people passed through the church to view
the remains, and the rush was so great
that it was found necessary to increase
the force around the church doors. Tho
throng was made up Of almost all ma
tionalities. As the day advanced the line
Of people extended until it reached Fulton
street; then down one side Of the next
block and up the other, with another wing
across Henry street. 1t was estimated
that nearly twenty thousand people passed
before the catafalQue during the day.
There were SO many wreaths and bou-
quets left on the bier that special place
had to be made near the platform at
the foot Of the pulpit to receive them.
Last night the Beecher residence was
brilliantly lighted, and everything around
the house was made as bright as possible.
Mrs. Beecher had been in her late hus-
bands room great portion Of the after
noon looking over his papers. It seems q
delight to her to be near where her hus-
band spent much Of his time. The mem-
bers Of the family were dressed in bright
clothing, and every thing around was
made as light and cheerful as possible, in
accordance with the often expressed wish
Of Mr.. Beecher in case Of his death

Horrible Torture.

CITY OF Mexico, March 9.-Recently,
near, Leon, three brothers named Mar
Quez accused an old man named Juan
Hurtado, of stealing some jackasses.
Coming on him on the road, they
seized him and beat him in barbar-
Gus manner to secure o confession. Re-
fusing to confess, they stripped him naked,
tied him to tree, and stuck his body
full of huasache thorns. They then
hung him up by the fingers until they pulled
his nails of, burned his feet and otherwise
horribly mutilated him, and then as he
still persisted innocence they took him to
the political chief Of Acordada, who shot
him dead. Superior authorities became
informed Of the matter and the whole of
the band, who fed to the woods, are being
hunted down.
